Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
Psalm 110[a]
A psalm of David.
110 Here is the Lord’s proclamation[b] to my lord:[c]
“Sit down at my right hand[d] until I make your enemies your footstool.”[e]
2 The Lord[f] extends[g] your dominion[h] from Zion.
Rule in the midst of your enemies.
3 Your people willingly follow you[i] when you go into battle.[j]
On the holy hills[k] at sunrise[l] the dew of your youth[m] belongs to you.[n]
4 The Lord makes this promise on oath[o] and will not revoke it:[p]
“You are an eternal priest[q] after the pattern of[r] Melchizedek.”[s]
5 O Lord,[t] at your right hand
he strikes down[u] kings in the day he unleashes his anger.[v]
6 He executes judgment[w] against[x] the nations.
He fills the valleys with corpses;[y]
he shatters their heads over the vast battlefield.[z]
7 From the stream along the road he drinks;
then he lifts up his head.[aa]
22 Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, “All sons[a] that are born you must throw[b] into the river, but all daughters you may let live.”[c]
The Birth of the Deliverer
2 [d] A man from the household[e] of Levi married[f] a woman who was a descendant of Levi.[g] 2 The woman became pregnant[h] and gave birth to a son. When[i] she saw that[j] he was a healthy[k] child, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she was no longer able to hide him, she took a papyrus basket[l] for him and sealed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and set it among the reeds along the edge of the Nile.[m] 4 His sister stationed herself[n] at a distance to find out[o] what would[p] happen to him.
5 Then the daughter of Pharaoh[q] came down to wash herself[r] by the Nile, while her attendants were walking alongside the river,[s] and she saw the basket among the reeds. She sent one of her attendants,[t] took it,[u] 6 opened it,[v] and saw the child[w]—a boy,[x] crying![y]—and she felt compassion[z] for him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.”
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and get[aa] a nursing woman[ab] for you from the Hebrews, so that she may nurse[ac] the child for you?” 8 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Yes, do so.”[ad] So the young girl[ae] went and got[af] the child’s mother.[ag] 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Take this child[ah] and nurse him for me, and I will pay your[ai] wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
10 When the child grew older[aj] she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son.[ak] She named him Moses, saying, “Because I drew him from the water.”[al]
23 By faith, when Moses was born, his parents hid him[a] for three months, because they saw the child was beautiful and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith, when he grew up, Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to be ill-treated with the people of God than to enjoy sin’s fleeting pleasure. 26 He regarded abuse suffered for Christ[b] to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for his eyes were fixed on[c] the reward.
